In recent years, the new energy vehicle industry in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region has accelerated its expansion, and local vehicle manufacturing capacity has continued to be released. The insufficient local supply of power batteries has become a shortcoming that restricts the development of the industry chain. The market has an urgent demand for large-scale and localized supporting battery production capacity. Against this backdrop, the SUNWODA new energy battery project with a total investment of over 5 billion yuan has landed smoothly, filling the key gap in the regional industry.

And this layout is not a temporary plan. The enterprise has already set up a regional operation platform in Beijing in advance, coupled with the continuous increase of northern production capacity by lithium battery leaders in multiple places. The new pattern of coordinated development between the north and south of the domestic power battery industry is accelerating.

Establish a sound local automotive industry chain

After the project is implemented, it can fill the industrial gap in Shunyi that lacks a large-scale new energy battery production line. The locally deployed power battery production line can provide nearby supporting supply for regional new energy vehicle enterprises, connect the upstream and downstream supporting chains of the automotive industry, reduce various costs generated by logistics transportation and collaborative production, and comprehensively improve the development ecology of Shunyi's new energy vehicle industry.

Building a comprehensive operation platform for the northern region

SUNWODA started its layout work in the northern market early on. In December 2022, SUNWODA Power established an electric vehicle battery Beijing branch, which was later renamed and is now known as SUNWODA Power Technology Co., Ltd. Beijing branch. This branch has a wide range of business scope, covering core businesses such as battery production and sales, new energy technology research and development, charging station operation, transmission and distribution equipment production and sales, new material research and development, software and electronic product sales, while expanding into sub sectors such as photovoltaic component sales and photovoltaic equipment leasing. This move fills the gap of the lack of regional core operating entities in the northern part of the enterprise and builds a complete business system covering the entire northern region.

The favorable industrial support policies, top-notch scientific and technological innovation resources, and convenient transportation location have made Beijing a key landing area for domestic lithium battery leaders in China. CATL、 BYD, EVE Energy, Honeycomb Energy, Qingtao Energy, Tailan New Energy, SUNWODA and other leading companies in the industry have completed their industrial layout in Beijing. By settling in Beijing, enterprises can not only connect with high-quality industrial resources in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, but also rely on the national hub location to radiate products and services throughout the north and tap into the huge new energy terminal consumption market.

Promote balanced development of industries

Except for Beijing, northern provinces such as Hebei, Shandong, and Henan are all regarded as strategic layout priorities by lithium battery industry chain enterprises. Major leaders continue to increase investment in northern production capacity, and the regional lithium battery industry continues to grow in size. BYD is building a FAW Fudi battery base in Changchun, with a planned production capacity of 45GWh; EVE Energy is constructing energy storage and power battery projects in Shenyang, with a planned production capacity of 40GWh; The planned production capacity of the Zhongchuang Aviation Handan Battery Base is 51GWh, which has now been put into operation; CATL is deeply rooted in Shandong, with diversified businesses such as batteries, photovoltaics, wind power, heavy-duty truck swapping, ship electrification, and electrode materials.

The new energy industry can promote local economic transformation and achieve long-term sustainable development. The prominent driving effect of large-scale power battery projects can attract upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to gather, forming a closed-loop and complete new energy industry cluster. A large number of lithium battery projects have been completed and put into operation one after another. The northern region relies on its industrial base, cost and resource advantages to narrow the gap with the southern region, deeply integrating into the national lithium battery industry layout, and promoting the coordinated and balanced development of the domestic battery industry in the north and south.Editor/Gong Ziwei
